ing up the meeting. 1t was thought
by many that too late a start was
made, and that the comparatively
short crops of the past season would be
hard to overcome, and that only a
small amount of interest would be
manifested by the people. With two
days of the fair now passed we have
most certainly demonstrated that such
thoughts were erroneous and that Bar
ton county is now sufficiently advanced
to make the holding of an annual fair
a profitable and therefore successful
undertaking. The races will be good to-
morrow and will doubtless draw a
large audience. The Kansas wind is
somewhat against us, but the great
wave of prosperity is carrying us on to
fortune.

Promiscuous Shooting,

The little town of Hoisington was
turned upside down Tuesday by
the indulgence of a couple of her good
citizens in shooting bee. The
trouble was between Joe Byers and a
former partner in the butcher bust
ness a Mr.. Tromer. Byers seems to
have first opened fire on Tromer with
d revolver, shooting several times, but
without hitting anything but the
windows in the building. Tromer
then grabbed double barreled shot
gun and as Byers was getting into his
buggy opened fire on him with both
barrels. The shot, however, was
aimed too high and spent its fury i'll
the top of the buggy. Others of the
citizens here took a hand and Mr..
Byers was hustled out of town in the
midst of a rafting fusilade of brick
bats. stones and such like. The
trouble is said to have started from
some business transaction which oc-
CURED during the time the two were
in partnership.

All Torn Up.

The ripping up of the streets of St.
Paul this summer has been much more
general than ever before. Many of the
streets in all parts of the city have been
closed to travel at some point during a
part of the season, while others have
been partially blocked by the improve
mentS In progress. jackson street,
above Ninth, has probably suffered more
than any other. This thoroughfare has
struggled for an existence from early
spring to the present time against sew
ers, gas pipes, water pipes, the street
railway. and now it is gasping out a
feeble existence against new grade be-
tween Tenth street and Thirteenth,
which will cut it down from three to
four feet. If it survives this last i'm
proyem1eent it will come to be a. very re-
spectacle street as far as Thirteenth
street. At present it is a sorry
looking object. 1t ought to be, and
naturally is, the best business street
in st. Paul, but the influence to
have it put in proper condition to assert
its supremacy seems to be lacking. The
business men and property owners along
the street know what ought to be done
and yet no one moves in the matter
While other streets are being continually
improved and put into shape for bust
ness, Jackson street is left to take care
of itself and shuttle along as best it can.
Robert and Wabasha streets are taking
the business away from it right straight
along. One of the heaviest real estate
men on Jackson street, and one who
owns more real estate in the city than
almost any other man, declared day or
two ago that there was no denying the
facts above stated, yet this business man
sees the neglect of this street and takes
no action.

North ST. Paul,

The latest addition to the manufac-

KOnantz & Bros, the well-known har-
ness and saddlery men of this city.
They have been extensive manufac-
turers in this line for a great many years
at Quincy, Ill. About six years ago two
brothers, E. A. & A. Konantz, located
in st. Paul, opening a retail store on
Jackson street. Their business has
grown with rapid strides since that date.
They started manufacturing and their
business has grown to such large pro-
portions that they decided to locate
their manufacturing department at
North st. Paul, where they will manu-
facture saddles, harness and sweat pads,
etc., and will employ 100 men. Their
retail business, in addition to the large
wholesale business, will still be in the
city. They will commence the cree
ton of their buildings at once, and
will be in operation by Oct. l.

on Indiana street, will open on Monday

two children in the family. The saving
of money is rendered difficult, if not
impossible. and the wife knows that
she will be the drudge upon whom
most of the additional labor will come.
"Why," they say to themselves, ''should
we have children until we can take care
of them properly ?" That is the form
in which the question is put, and it is
not difficult to see that it will receive
only one answer.
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.
In the third place, looking at the mat
ter still more broadly, we shall not fail
to perceive that the spirit of indepen-
dence with which many American
women are imbued, and the desire
which actuateS them to do nothing that
may restrict them in their liberty, eXer-
ciSes a much greater influence ever
them. than either of the other factors
mentioned. They have in recent years
arrived at the point of regarding ma
ternity as tie enc circumstance of all
others that is likely to keep them in
bondage. They have nearly succeeded
In emancipating themselves from
the control of their husbands;
every year sees them approaching
nearer and nearer to the right Of
suffrage; motherhood would make
slaves of them; a baby at their breasts
would be greater tyrant than any they
have escaped; the very idea is horrible
to them. These, then, are the three
reasons of which spoke in the begin
ming. There are many others almost as
strong. But Notwithstanding them
all, and though the avoiders of mater
nifty are more numerous among Ameri-
can women than among women of other
nations, the great mass of the sex, and
by far its better part, still hold the ma
ternal instinct in all its overwhelming
power and bear and rear their offspring
with all the fidelity that imperious ma
ture requires.

UNDERGRADUATES MARRIAGES..

Then, again, Americans are prone to
marry before they have acquired suffi-
cient means to maintain themselves in
the condition of comfort to which they
have been accustomed while dependent
upon their parents. 1t follows, there
fore, that whatever tends to increase
their expenses is hindrance to them.
Maternity is very influential factor in
this direction, and hence it is not desir-
able. People in this country are not
unless they are exceedingly well placed

position they occupy. They are anxious
to better themselves. and the know that
